09/19/09 16:21:31	September 19, 2009 Franklin Boulevard Sacramento, California Today, 9 Helpers of God's Precious Infants prayed the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary at the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood on Franklin Boulevard. With the help of kneeling pads, we all prayed together on our knees, offering our prayers in reparation for the tragedy of abortion and the moral conversion of our nation. Afterwards, we quietly left in silence and thankful for today's blessing from the sidewalk. *Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum* Last Edited By: aiutare 09/19/09 16:25:11. Edited 2 times.

10/08/09 15:43:03 Administrator	September 26, 2009 Planned Parenthood Sacramento, California Today as we prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries while on our knees, I noticed a young woman holding her kinderaged daughter's hand as she walked into the PP center. Instantaneously, I flashed back to over thirty years ago when I too had strolled in blindly to a PP center in Reno with daughter in tow.How many women will blindly be indoctrinated with the eugenicist "family planning" model not realizing until they are menopausal that " planning" meant "eliminating" either by contracepting or aborting their own flesh and blood. How many women will be sold and buy itnto the perfect family model of one boy and one girl? How many middleaged post-abortive women will shed a tear and wonder on Thanksgiving Day who will be missing at the family dinner table? Dear Jesus, Thank You for the blessing to share the truth about contraception and abortion with women and the families that naively walk into these places masquerading as "family" centers. Let us pray that all people will come to know the truth that pregnancy is not a "disease" but a blessing from God. Let us pray that all people will open their hearts to allow God to determine how many children He wishes to bless us with. Let us pray that all women and families that have been victimized by "family planning" will find healing and compassion...

10/21/09 08:24:17 Administrator	October 10, 2009 Franklin Blvd. Today a few Helpers gathered at the sidewalk. I served as the "sidewalk counselor" while the others prayed the Holy Rosary. The salsa music echoing from the local Latin music store drowned out our sofltly spoken Hail Mary's. I waited patiently at one entrance to the parking lot as clients entered and exited the abortion center. Many women, and their boyfriends cast down their eyes as they exited the parking lot as I stood there invisible to them. Rejection after rejection, as Haily Mary's stormed heaven for their conversion. Dear Lord, Thank You for the blessing to be a witness today even though people ignored me and my information. May the prayers that we offered for these women and their boyfriends soften their hearts and lead them to conversion. We pray that You would break through their denial and help them to open their eyes to the truth. Last Edited By: helper 10/21/09 09:05:07. Edited 3 times.

10/21/09 09:04:27 Administrator	October 17, 2009 Franklin Blvd. Today as we left morning Mass we were informed by some regular Helpers that they would not be coming to the sidewalk today. I left a little disappointed thinking that my husband and I would be the only ones at the sidewalk today. Upon arrival, my heart leaped with joy when I noticed a small group of Helpers waiting for us. Our group gathered quietly around the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe as we began the Joyful Mysteries of the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I was able to inform many people about the risks of abortion and contraception. One Hispanic man after having accompanied his wife into PP eventually walked over to me with his two little boys. I explained to him the eugenecist founder of PP and her reproductive racist mission to prevent "undesirables of society" from repoducing. I also informed him that birth control was an abortafacient. He informed me, "Oh, my wife is here to see the doctor for only a vaccination. But, I really do not know what type." I informed him about "birth control" Depo Provera injections and also offered him literature which he accepted. He appeared a little surprised, but reassured me this was only a vaccination that his wife had to have! I offered him a Holy Rosary before he walked back to PP with his two little sons. Dear Lord, Let us pray that this husband will discover the truth of the type of vaccination//injection his wife is receiving. Let us pray that his wife will respond with honnesty and integrity. May God bless this youung couple with an openness to LIFE and the moral courage to seek the truth. Last Edited By: helper 10/21/09 22:06:20. Edited 3 times.

10/27/09 15:20:03 Administrator	October 27, 2009 29th & B Street Sacramento, CA Today I returned with a small group of faithful helpers to the midtown abortion center. I functioned as the "sidewalk counselor" while the other helpers prayed the Holy Rosary. It was abortion day and all the independent pro-life people had departed earlier leaving the Helpers to minister to the wounded post-abortive women. There were many young, African-American men waiting in their cars while their women were inside undergoing an abortion. I approached the first young male at a distance as he sat safely in his car. "Here is some important information to assist you and your girlfriend before you choose," I encouraged. He continued to shake his head, "No thank you lady I don't need that information. I already have three kids and can't afford to have any more!" I continued, "Babies are a blessing from God and He will provide." He smiled and brushed me off by insisting he was o,k. I left him alone knowing that only God could open his heart. A while later two other African-American males greeted me and requested Holy Rosaries which they immediately asked me to place around their necks. Simultaneously, a carload of African-Americans drive past me and stop within a few feet of me. I asked them if they are in need of prayers. The driver immediately states, " Yeah, you can pray for her cuz she just had an abortion! The young woman was keeled over in the car, with her eyes cast down looking very pale and sick. She sharply responded to him, "Don't be telling people my business! I look into her eyes as I offered her a pamphlet on post-abortive healing as well as a baby pink rosary and the instructions. She quickly accepted it. "Jesus loves you. God bless all of you", I responded. Momentarily we all look into each others eyes and then like a flash they took off down the street. Dear God, Thank You for the blessing to have been accompanied today by Helpers who stood in the cold and gusty wind to pray for the conversion of souls. Thank You for the blessing for the privilege to speak to fathers and moms who underwent an abortion today. Thank You for the opportunity to have shared with them information on post-abortive healing as well as the LOVE You have for them! Last Edited By: helper 10/28/09 07:08:33. Edited 2 times.

10/28/09 10:25:33 Administrator	October 28, 2009 53rd & F Today a new helper, a former combat sergeant in the U.S. Army came out to pray at the sidewalk. He felt like he was at the front-line in spiritual combat as he stood at the sidewalk and prayed the Holy Rosary in front of the abortion center. He compared these "sidewalks" to civilian trenches tucked into every neighborhood in our country. He exchanged his M-16 assualt weapon for the most powerful conversion weapon the HOLY ROSARY. He continued, "There is no glory, fame, honor or prestige as you wait in the army trenches or the abortion sidewalks as the hours pass in silence." He mentioned, "The military experience of waiting in the trenches in Iraq and Kuwait in operation Desert Storm has prepared him to serve paitently as a Helper in the Lord's Army at the sidewalk in Sacramento in Operation Pro-life. The trenches (sidewalks) in front of every abortion center are where the Lord's real work is happening, but it is hard work and no one wants to do it! Just like no one really wanted to volunteer in the Army to be in the front-line." During war, you find yourself alone in the trenches because everyone starts making excuses to leave the trenches. Here at the sidewalk boredom and fatigue set in too while waiting at the civilian trenches, city sidewalks and people leave this noble cause. We cannot leave these ciivilian trenches (city sidewalks)!!! It seems to me that every singe CATHOLIC would be out HERE at the "SIDEWALK" until every abortion center is shut down!!!! Let us remain in the trenches and pray for conversion of hearts. Dear Lord, The blessing today was that he knew that somehow he had made a difference while praying in the trenches. There were no indications from God that his pro-life mission had been successful. There were no obvious conversions, no change of heart from women seeking an abortion, no abortion centers closed down, but deep down in his heart he believed that through his action and faith he had particiipated in something greater than himself today and that the fruits of his prayer though hidden from his eyes would bear fruit for eternity. Please Lord, send us more Helpers to join us in the trenches! Last Edited By: helper 10/29/09 10:02:43. Edited 6 times.

11/02/09 23:47:08 Administrator	November 2, 2009 All Souls Day 29th & B Today the Helpers prayed in midtown and the weather was on our side. As I dangled the holy rosaries around my wrist I noticed the parking lot was filled to capacity. Business was booming! I placed my weary body at a strategic location near the main driveway praying and hoping to counsel someone. After numerous rejections a young Latino male accepted my handouts and was surprised that they committed abortions at this location. He expressed his pro-life position and went on his way. I tried to get the attention of a young African American male who was sitting in his car for at least 30 minutes listening to his rap music that was drowning out the Hail Mary's nearby. I waved at him one last time and then he began walking toward me and stopped within a few feet. I'm here to offer positive alternatives to abortion and inform people about the cancer risks of contraception. I filled him in on Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood as well as the "Negro Project" she created to eliminate blacks from the face of the earth. He glanced quickly at Dr. Alveda Kng's article warning about the reproductive racism of Planned Parenthood. He stood there initially stunned and then listened very attentively. I asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said, "She's in there! Do you love her? "Yeah," he quickly responded that he was involved with her. If you truly love her, YOU won't put her at risk for future breast cancer, an unplanned pregnancy or future abortion. Most of these young couples here today never thought they would end up purchasing an abortion. But this is reality. When two people are not committed to each other and they are purely seeking their own sexual pleasure an (orgasm), pregnancy and a baby become an inconvenience something to quickly discard. People who truly love each other in the bonds of marriage do not desire to block the truly Life giving part of them, but open up their hearts to procreate with God and generously give LIFE!!! Please commit to be the spiritual leader in this relationship and wait for her. God wants you to respect her dignity as a woman. At this point, I offered him a blessed Holy Rosary with a prayer card as a way for him to develop the moral courage to abstain from his prior lifestyle. I informed him that prayer was the key to abstain from his fleshly desires. I told him I loved him because he was made in the image and likeness of God. He looked surprised, smiled shook my hand for a long time before he quietly walked away. Yes, I thought to myself with God and prayer everything is possible! Dear Lord, Thanks for the grace and stamina to physically stand out here at the sidewalk today. Thanks for the Helper who prayed fervently on his knees to sacrifice for the conversion of sinners. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to speak to Marshall about the sanctity of Life and marriage for close to half an hour and the grace for him to listen to a worn out tired old pro-life lady.. . I pray Lord, that You will bless this young couple with the grace of conversion and the moral courage to live a pure life. Last Edited By: helper 11/08/09 08:06:29. Edited 2 times.
